Isolated rectus muscle rupture due to trauma without globe damage is extremely rare. The most commonly affected muscle is the medial rectus, while the least affected is the lateral rectus. The oblique muscles are much less affected by trauma because they are protected by the surrounding bone structures. Eye movements should be assessed after evaluating the integrity of the globe and performing a detailed eye examination. The most appropriate treatment should be provided as soon as possible after the degree of damage is determined. Especially in animal-related injuries, rabies prophylaxis should be overlooked in addition to tetanus. Here we present a 37-year-old male patient with partial lateral rectus avulsion due to cat scratch.

Background: When patients with a failed hip arthroplasty are unsuitable for reimplantation, Girdlestone resection arthroplasty (GRA) is a viable treatment option. We report on a patient who was treated with a GRA due to a periprosthetic infection. We discovered partial paralysis of the quadriceps muscle in this patient.

Synergistic divergence, sometimes identified as type IV Duane syndrome, belongs to a group of congenital disorders characterized by aberrant extraocular muscle innervation. In synergistic divergence, there is paradoxical abduction of both eyes on attempted gaze to one side. There is no consensus on surgical management of this rare disorder.

Stilling-Duane syndrome, a congenital condition characterized by aberrant innervation of the lateral rectus muscle and agenesis of the abducent nerve or its nucleus, results in limited horizontal eye movements. It is often misdiagnosed as acquired abducent nerve paralysis. This report highlights the importance of considering Stilling-Duane syndrome in differential diagnoses.

The normalization process is important to determine the best approach for normalizing electromyographic signals from respiratory muscles in healthy subjects and those with ALS. The aim of this study is to compare different methods of normalizing the sEMG signal of respiratory muscles in both healthy subjects and those with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). This cross-sectional study was conducted in 67 subjects (50 healthy and 17 with ALS).
